Barnclan
Intro
You've been running for a while, rain pouring down on you hard. Thunder roaring above you and lightning flashing across the dark cloudy sky. At least in those forests you had the trees to keep some of the rain off of you, now it seems like there are little to no trees in sight. You feel your paws give out on you and you fall into the mud and tall grass. "Are you lost, stranger?" a voice mews behind you. You turn to see a slim black she-cat with piercing, amber eyes staring at you. You nod your head meekly to her question, she smiles and tries to help you back up to your paws. "I got a camp where you can get out of the rain and rest up for a bit, maybe even consider joining us?" The she-cat explains. You look at her in confusion as she leads you further into the tall grass. She chuckles, "I'm a clan cat, in fact I'm the leader. My name is Ravenstar, and welcome to Barnclan."
History A long time a group of barn cat and loners where visited by a wandering group of clan cats, for a few moons the clan cats stay at the barn and taught the barn cats about clan life and Starclan. When the clan cats began to leave a few stayed behind and started families with the barn cats. The oldest barn cat in the group, named Harvey was made leader. Upon speaking to Starclan for the first time they gave Harvey a new name, Harveststar. He was given his nine lives and return back to the barn, with the help of the remaining clan cats Harveststar created what is now called Barnclan.
Territory
Camp- Home is located in a large, old barn. All cats have nests to sleep in on the bottom level of the barn, The leader sleeps on the top level and will sometimes give clan meetings from up there.
Planting Fields- The two-legs seem to grow strange plants here, but some healing herbs can be found among the two-leg plants sometimes. Also its a nice place to hunt for mice and on rare occasions crows.
Monster Den- The two-legs keep their Monsters here, sometimes its loud enough there that the cats in camp can here it. Most cat just stay away from the area, nothing but carrion and weird black or multi-colored liquid to be found there.
The Star Tree- The Star Tree is where the leader and healer will go to speak to the spirits of the Ancestors who live in the Star Valley, or Starclan.
Smooth River- A shallow, clear river flows passed the planting fields and the Star Tree. The river can sometimes dry up doing greenleaf, making it difficult to find water. The bottom of the river is lined with smooth stones, cat unaware of this need to be careful they don't slip on the stones.
Oak Bridge- A wooden, two-leg made bridge across the Smooth River. Some pieces are creaky or missing.
Open Plains- On the other side of Smooth River is the Open Plains, wide area filled with tall grass and full of prey. A couple small trees can be found out here, but there isn't much shade found there.
Forest- This place is outside the clan territory, dense pine and oak trees along with thick undergrowth. It is full of dangerous creatures so the clan knows to stay away from there.
Barnclan Charactistics
Barnclan cats do not fear most two-legs since they've spent so much time around them, however most queens keep their kits hidden from them to keep the kits from being taken and given to other two-legs.
Cats are usually laid back and loyal, some tend to speak honestly even to the point where it might be considered rude. They make better hunters than fighters, but they'll defend their home and clanmates the best they can.
The two-legs do leave kitty-pet food, but it is frowned upon to do eat it unless it is Leafbare or if a queen and kits are struggling to eat and put on weight.
Since they have spent so much time around Two-legs they understand a few more words than common forest dwelling warriors, farm crops and farm animals are in their vocabulary.
RP Rules Please be active, I understand that with school and other things that people will be busy. Just try to be as active as you can, and if you need to leave for a long period of time then let me know. Homosexual and bi cats are allowed here.
No Kit-anything please and thank you No unrealistic pelt/eye colors please. Use realistic names, however keep in mind you may name your characters after farm animals or crops. You may have as many characters are you want, just be sure to remember and rp them.
No Spamming, if you need to ask someone to come to another thread that is fine. No text talk in rp, save that for out of character conversations. For literacy please just try to be as detailed as you can, all I ask is that you use proper capitalization and punctuation. No Powerplaying, Godmodding, or Spotlighting. Please don't be too overly detailed with mating, kitting, and death. If you want to try and kill someone's character you need to have that persons permission first. And please put 'Farmstead' in the 'Other' section of your joining form. No pairing up your own characters, try to have them be mates with other people's characters please.
Check to make sure the name you want for your character is not taken.
Barnclan Code
The leader's word is law, disobey the leader's orders will result in punishment. Queens, kits, and elders are to be fed before anyone else. No going into the Forest, not even warriors may go that far off the territory. Cats can choose whether to have clan names or stick with their original names. If a cat was originally a Kitty-Pet, they can keep their collar but cannot keep any tags or bells on it.
Healer/Medicine cats cannot have kits. No killing unless absolutely necessary. Kits cannot be apprentices until they are six moons old. The Two-leg outdoor pets out in the Open Plains are not to be hunted, Cows, Sheep, Goats, Chickens, Ducks, and Horses are to be left alone. If a baby or small Two-leg animal is being attacked we must do what we can to protect it. If outsider cats are spotted do not attack on site, if they seem lost or in need for food then help them. If an outsider seems dangerous then simply stay away if you can, if you've already been spotted by them be prepared to defend yourself.
Prey
Mice (Common) Squirrels (Common) Voles (Common) Small birds: Robins, Sparrows, ect (Common) Rabbit (uncommon)
Predators
Foxes Coyotes Owls Hawks Snakes

Allegiance
Leader: Ravenstar- Slim she-cat with sleek jet black fur. Her fur is short and very soft, around her muzzle her fur is a light shade of black. Her eyes are a bright amber color and she has a scar over her left eye. Ravenstar is laid back and calm, she controls her anger very well even when things seem terribly wrong. However when someone does something that breaks their trust with her she will often give that cat the cold shoulder and won't trust them again, at least not for a long while. 7/9 Lives Remain. (Applescent)
Deputy: Velma- A small, black dominant calico cat, with orange and white patches occasionally dotted on her fur. Her eyes are heterochromatic, colored green and hazel. She's a bit of a scatterbrain. However, she absolutely LOVES mystery, and can't help but try to solve any mystery that gets put her way. She's full of spirit, and doesn't seem to let much of anything get her down. Unknown mother, but her mother may have been clanborn. (❆ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇʙɪᴛᴛʏʜɪʙɪ❆)
Healer: (Reserved) Healer Apprentice:
Warriors: Hollow- A broad shouldered tom with black fur, his fur is short but thick. His muzzle and two front paws are white. His eyes are a haunting bright yellow. Hollow is arrogant and self centered, the only cat he's been seen being kind to is his brother Oak. Both he and his brother are new to the clan, and disappear from time to time. His only known kin is Oak. (Applescent)
Oak- Tall and lanky dusty brown tom with a white chest and belly. His tail is long and he has a few rips in his ears. His eyes are a dark green. Oak is gentle and a big softie at heart, but when he's around his brother he acts a lot like Hollow. Oak is usually tense, constantly looking over his shoulder especially when he's outside of camp. His only known kin is his brother Hollow. (Applescent)
Brightember- Dark ginger tabby she-cat with dark brown stripes. She has a white tail tip and light green eyes. She wears an old, faded lavender colored collar. Brightember is a loyal and friendly cat, when she is angry however she can act like a spoiled kit. She has a soft spot for kits. Her only known kin were her parents, her mother disappeared and her father was murdered. (Applescent)
Shadow- Black long-furred tom with a white stomach. One of his eyes is missing, the other one is teal. His teeth are very sharp from his habit of gnawing at bones and eating the marrow. Shadow's main problem is that he has a difficult time trusting others, besides that he's a pretty normal clan cat. (Laughingcat)
Leafstorm- Small, sleek gray tom with amber eyes. Leafstorm is kind and gentle with his Clan, but fierce and strong when it comes to enemies. However, he doesn't like kits very much, not wanting to deal with their constant jabbering. His parents were rogues. (skyleap32)
Ashwhisker- Large mottled gray and black tom with amber eyes. He has a long tail, as well as a white muzzle and paws. Ashwhisker is a friendly, down-to-earth, and responsible cat. He is logical and a bit cautious, but driven to help others and can be very brave if called upon. (~Skyblaze~)
Fogtooth- A small, round-shaped tom with thick, short white and silvery fur with light, spotty tabby markings. His eyes are bright silver and very round and inquisitive .He's a silly tom with a positive attitude. Some cats find his excitable behavior a nuisance, though he tries his best to please his clanmates. He is homosexual. (kismet)
Apprentices:
Larkpaw- Small white and ginger she-cat with bright blue eyes. She has a white muzzle with a small scar on it from an accident as a kit. Larkpaw is a good-natured, hyper, and somewhat competitive she-cat. She has a penchant for sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong, but is a good friend and fierce companion. (~Skyblaze~)

Elders:
The Ancestors

Berry- Young, dark brown she-cat with bright green eyes. Her fur is silky and she has a wispy tail. She has a round head, short snout, and small ears.

Hollow and Oak were heading back into camp after some hunting. Hollow had two mice and Oak was carrying a squirrel. Once they entered camp they both placed their prey down on the fresh kill pile. They sat down and started talking quietly and grooming themselves.
Ravenstar sat on the upper floor of the barn looking down onto her clanmates below, she stood up and stretched out her limbs before carefully making her way down some hay bales.
Brightember was right outside of camp in the sun, the chilly wind pulling at her fur a little as she tried to warm herself up a bit in the sun. She was curled up into a ball with her nose buried into her front paws.

(Sounds good!)
Leafstorm looked uncertainly at the entrance to the camp, glancing around nervously. There were only a few other cats, but he didn't know any of them. Ravenstar may have accepted him, but that didn't mean the other cats would. He saw Brightember laying near him.

Brightember opened her eyes slightly and noticed Leafstorm, she lifted her head up and yawned. "Hello Leafstorm, How are you?" She mewed looking at him, seeing he looked a bit uncertain about something she tilted her head. "Are you okay? she asked.

Post by skyleap32 on Sept 13, 2017 16:54:17 GMT -5
"I think so." Leafstorm twitched his tail nervously and sat down. "I'm just a little wary about going into the camp. Ravenstar accepted me, but what about the others?" He shook his head. "I'm sorry. You don't need to hear about my problems."

Post by Applescent on Sept 13, 2017 17:00:27 GMT -5
Brightember smiled, "Don't worry about the others, clan numbers have been low the last few season so it's always good to have some new members. Besides you're not the only new one around, Hollow and Oak over there joined a few moons before you." She stood up and stretched out. "If you ever have any other problems you can talk to Ravenstar, or if you prefer you can talk to me!" She gave a friendly purr.

Post by skyleap32 on Sept 13, 2017 17:04:23 GMT -5
Leafstorm smiled and purred as well. A friend. That's what he needed. "Thanks, Brightember." If all the cats were this friendly, he would have no problem getting on in this clan. "What's the story with Hollow and Oak? Kittypets or rogues?"

Brightember shrugged, "Don't really know, a patrol found them one morning seemingly lost and confused. They came back here and stayed around, but there are times when they disappear from camp for a day or so. They probably just go on hunting trips together, since they always seem to bring back prey with them." she explained in a hushed tone.

Leafstorm narrowed his eyes. "Interesting." Maybe he should go try to make more friends. He gave Brightember another smile. "It was nice to see you."
|
|
|
Post by Applescent on Sept 13, 2017 17:23:36 GMT -5
Brightember smiled back, "I was nice to see you too, Leafstorm. Good luck with making more friends, though I'm sure you have too much trouble." she mewed happily.

Leafstorm gave one last smile and then walked into the camp. He pawed over to Hollow and Oak, who were sharing tongues. "Hello," he greeted.

Post by Applescent on Sept 13, 2017 17:36:45 GMT -5
The two toms looked at him before glancing at each other. "Hello... Leafstorm right?" Oak mewed, his voice somewhat timid and quiet. Hollow look at Leafstorm silently, his face was stoic.

Post by skyleap32 on Sept 13, 2017 17:40:24 GMT -5
"Yes," Leafstorm responded, sitting down. He looked over to see Ravenstar making her way down to the barn floor. Perhaps he should talk to her too. "Hollow and Oak, right?"
|
|
|
Post by Applescent on Sept 13, 2017 17:46:32 GMT -5
Oak smiled and nodded, "Yep that's us!" he glanced at Hollow and shuffled his paw awkwardly as he went quiet. Hollow sighed, "You are new here, yes? Like us?" he mewed deeply.
Ravenstar made it down to the main area of camp, her ears flicked back and forth a little as she looked at her clanmates.
